The fuse on my Qubie Hard Drive blew. I replaced the fuse, with a 5A fuse,
which is higher than the power requirement, and it blew too.

There are no schematics available, and the Technical Assistance number is
defunct. The problem is "obviously" :) in what seems to be a really fancy
power supply board. There is one part here on the 115V side,
which I have no idea what it is. 

It sort of looks like a NiCd battery which has been dipped in tar, and
has two leads emanating from it. Shows zero (or close to) ohms across it,
and I don't know what it is.  Says CAL-R 2SS40 on it...

Any idea what it is and how to find out its rating ? The leads are of equal
length but they've been snipped.


Thanks in advance !
